Kungumgomo wombhoxo olula kakhulu. Musa ukuqasha umqeqeshi noma umdlali ngoba benza okuthile kahle – bese ubacela ukuthi benze okuthile okuhluke ngokuphelele.
Iphuzu elicacile, ngumqeqeshi wase-British & Irish Lions, uWarren Gatland.
Kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe wokuqeqesha, uGatland uphumelele ngenxa yesitayela sakhe sokuqeqesha. Uhlale edlala umdlalo wokulimaza phambili kuze kuvuleke izikhala eduze kohlangothi lwe-scram. Sekuze kwaba negama. Ibizwa ngokuhlekisa ngesitayela sokudlala ngokuthi “i-Warrenball”.
Yilelo su elamletha eduzane ekuhlwitheni iNdebe yoMhlaba yowezi-2019 kumaBhokobhoko. Uma kuwukuthi uHandre Pollard ebengenaso isimo somdlalo omkhulu ukuguqula leyo phenathi yokugcina, indondo ethandekayo ye-Webb Ellis kungenzeka ukuthi iye eNyakatho Nenkabazwe.
Cishe lesi ngesinye sezizathu esenza uGatland athole umsebenzi wokuqeqesha i-B & I Lions, nokho abantu (ikakhulu abalandeli base-Welsh) bayamgxeka ngamaqhinga akhe “e-Warrenball”.
Kodwa-ke, akukho lutho oluphakamisa ukuthi uGatland uzosishintsha leso sitayela. Ngisho nomqeqeshi ohlaselayo wase-Dcotland, uGregor Townsend, akaziwa ngobuciko emuva. Ukuba nomdlalo owodwa oyisethenjwa, phakathi kwe-B & I Lions ne-Japan, kunobunye ubufakazi bohlobo lomdlalo amaqembu aseNingizimu Afrika angawulindela.
Bedlala ne-Japan, kwasebenza, kodwa-ke noma yiluphi uhlobo lokudlala beluzosebenza ekugcineni, kodwa luzosebenza yini uma beqhudelana nabantu bakuleli?
Silindele umdlalo wangoMgqibelo ne-Gauteng Lions ukuthola eminye imikhondo. Umbuzo akukhona ukuthi ngabe uGatland uzowasebenzisa yini amaqhinga “e-Warrenball”. Umbuzo uthi, ngabe lelo qhinga lizosebenza yini?
